March
6, 2000 The
United Insurance Company has launched a new health insurance product for
corporate employees. The
new product titled ‘Health Plan’ has been designed on the concept of
group health insurance schemes to be sponsored by companies. “Under
this scheme, employees’ treatment expenses in a hospital for illness or
injury are insured, “said United Insurance General Manager Tanveer Imam
speaking before a group of businessmen on the eve of the product
launching. “It,
however, does not cover any expense in respect of domiciliary or outdoor
treatment,” he said. “If your company has a minimum 50 employees you
may opt for this group insurance provided that 95 per cent of the
employees take the scheme, We may however consider the health plan for a
smaller group on special request.” He
said that there are three insurance options to choose from – Basic Plan
which covers up to Tk 25,000 per person a year. Standard Plan for up to Tk
50,000 a person and Executive Plan covering Tk 75,000 per person a year. The
employees can take the scheme for themselves or for their spouses and
children as well, Tanveer said. The
plan covers medical treatment expenses in a hospital for up to 15 days at
a stretch. The
coverage of the scheme includes hospital accommodation, consultation with
physicians or surgeons, medical investigations, surgical operation (major
and intermediate), use of operation theatre facilitates, anesthesia and
other services, medicines, ancillary services like labor room services,
ICU/CCU room and post-operation room costs, blood transfusion and
ambulance services, the general manager said. Speaking
on the occasion Syed Aziz Ahmad, Director of United Insurance presided
over the product launching ceremony. Source: The Daily Star |
